Apheresis aphairesis, a taking away is a medical technology in which the blood of a person is passed through an apparatus that separates out one particular constituent and returns the remainder to the circulation. It is thus an extracorporeal therapy. Depending on the substance that is being removed, different processes are employed in apheresis. If separation by density is required, centrifugation is the most common method. Other methods involve absorption onto beads coated with an absorbent material and filtration. The centrifugation method can be divided into two basic categories Continuous flow centrifugationeditContinuous flow centrifugation CFC historically required two venipunctures as the continuous means the blood is collected, spun, and returned simultaneously.

Newer systems can use a single venipuncture. The main advantage of this system is the low extracorporeal volume calculated by volume of the apheresis chamber, the donors hematocrit, and total blood volume of the donor used in the procedure, which may be advantageous in the elderly and for children. Intermittent flow centrifugationeditIntermittent flow centrifugation works in cycles, taking blood, spinningprocessing it and then giving back the unused parts to the donor in a bolus. The main advantage is a single venipuncture site. To stop the blood from coagulating, anticoagulant is automatically mixed with the blood as it is pumped from the body into the apheresis machine. Centrifugation variableseditThe centrifugation process itself has four variables that can be controlled to selectively remove desired components. The first is spin speed and bowl diameter, the second is sit time in centrifuge, the third is solutes added, and the fourth is not as easily controllable plasma volume and cellular content of the donor. The end product in most cases is the classic sedimented blood sample with the RBCs at the bottom, the buffy coat of platelets and WBCs lymphocytesgranulocytes, PMNs, basophils, eosinophilsmonocytes in the middle and the plasma on top. Disinfect, insert the cannula, pull out the cannula, dress the wound. The blue pressure cuff is controlled by the platelet apheresis machine in newer models. There are numerous types of apheresis. DonationeditBlood taken from a healthy donor can be separated into its component parts during blood donation, where the needed component is collected and the unused components are returned to the donor. Fluid replacement is usually not needed in this type of collection. There are large categories of component collections Plasmapheresis blood plasma. Plasmapheresis is useful in collecting FFP fresh frozen plasma of a particular ABO group. Commercial uses aside from FFP for this procedure include immunoglobulin products, plasma derivatives, and collection of rare WBC and RBC antibodies. Erythrocytapheresis red blood cells. Erythrocytapheresis is the separation of erythrocytes from whole blood. It is most commonly accomplished using the method of centrifugal sedimentation. This process is used for red blood cell diseases such as sickle cell crises or severe malaria. The automated red blood cell collection procedure for donating erythrocytes is referred to as Double Reds or Double Red Cell Apheresis. 1Plateletpheresis thrombapheresis, thrombocytapheresis blood platelets. Plateletpheresis is the collection of platelets by apheresis while returning the RBCs, WBCs, and component plasma. The yield is normally the equivalent of between six and ten random platelet concentrates. Quality control demands the platelets from apheresis be equal to or greater than 3. H of equal to or greater than 6. Leukapheresis leukocytes white blood cells. Leukopheresis is the removal of PMNs, basophils, eosinophils for transfusion into patients whose PMNs are ineffective or where traditional therapy has failed. There is limited data to suggest the benefit of granulocyte infusion. The complications of this procedure are the difficulty in collection and short shelf life 2. C. Since the buffy coat layer sits directly atop the RBC layer, HES, a sedimenting agent, is employed to improve yield while minimizing RBC collection. Quality control demands the resultant concentrate be 1. Irradiation does not affect PMN function. Since there is usually a small amount of RBCs collected, ABO compatibility should be employed when feasible. Stem cell harvesting circulating bone marrow cells are harvested to use in bone marrow transplantation. Donor safetyeditSingle use kits Apheresis is done using single use kits, so there is no risk of infection from blood contaminated tubing or centrifuge. Immune system effects the immediate decreases in blood lymphocyte counts and serum immunoglobulin concentrations are of slight to moderate degree and are without known adverse effects. Less information is available regarding long term alterations of the immune system2Kit problemseditTwo apheresis kit recalls were Baxter Healthcare Corporation 2. Fenwal Incorporated 2. ACD and saline lines were reversed in the assembly process. The reversed line connections may not be visually apparent in the monitor box, and could result in excessive ACD infusion and severe injury, including death, to the donor. 4Apheresis uses plastics and tubing, which come into contact with the blood. The plastics are made of PVC in addition to additives such as a plasticizer, often DEHP. DEHP leaches from the plastic into the blood, and people have begun to study the possible effects of this leached DEHP on donors as well as transfusion recipients. current risk or preventive limit values for DEHP such as the Rf. D of the US EPA 2. TDI of the European Union 2. Especially women in their reproductive age need to be protected from DEHP exposures exceeding the above mentioned preventive limit values. 5Commercial plateletpheresis disposables release considerable amounts of DEHP during the apheresis procedure, but the total dose of DEHP retained by the donor is within the normal range of DEHP exposure of the general population. 6The Baxter company manufactured blood bags without DEHP, but there was little demand for the product in the marketplace7Mean DEHP doses for both plateletpheresis techniques 1. Rf. D of the US EPA and tolerable daily intake TDI value of the EU on the day of the apheresis. Therefore, margins of safety might be insufficient to protect especially young men and women in their reproductive age from effects on reproductivity. At present, discontinuous flow devices should be preferred to avert conceivable health risks from plateletpheresis donors. Strategies to avoid DEHP exposure of donors during apheresis need to be developed. 8Therapyedit. The assembly A D, operation E and disassembly F of the platelet apheresis machine which can be configured to separate other components as well. The various apheresis techniques may be used whenever the removed constituent is causing severe symptoms of disease. Generally, apheresis has to be performed fairly often, and is an invasive process.
